Anarcho-syndicalismAnarcho-syndicalismAnarcho-syndicalism (also referred to as revolutionary syndicalism)[1]
is a theory of anarchism that views revolutionary industrial unionism
or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain
control of an economy and, with that control, influence broader
society. Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for
facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative
economic system with democratic values and production centered on
meeting human needs.
The basic principles of anarcho-syndicalism are solidarity, direct
action (action undertaken without the intervention of third parties
such as politicians, bureaucrats, and arbitrators) and direct
democracy, or workers' self-management

SyndicalismSyndicalismSyndicalism is a proposed type of economic system, considered a
replacement for capitalism. It suggests that workers, industries, and
organisations be systematized into confederations or syndicates. It is
"...a system of economic organization in which industries are owned
and managed by the workers."[1]
Its theory and practice is the advocacy of multiple cooperative
productive units composed of specialists and representatives of
workers in each field to negotiate and manage the economy.
For adherents, labour unions and labour training (see below) are the
potential means of both overcoming economic aristocracy and running
society in the interest of informed and skilled majorities, through
union democracy. Industry in a syndicalist system would be run through
co-operative confederations and mutual aid

Minimum Wage
A minimum wage is the lowest remuneration that employers can legally
pay their workers. Equivalently, it is the price floor below which
workers may not sell their labor. Although minimum wage laws are in
effect in many jurisdictions, differences of opinion exist about the
benefits and drawbacks of a minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum
wage say it increases the standard of living of workers, reduces
poverty, reduces inequality, and boosts morale.[1] In contrast,
opponents of the minimum wage say it increases poverty, increases
unemployment (particularly among unskilled or inexperienced workers)
and is damaging to businesses, because excessively high minimum wages
require businesses to raise the prices of their product or service to
accommodate the extra expense of paying a higher wage.[2][3][4]
Simple supply demand models point to welfare and employment losses
from minimum wages
